Great place, central to all monuments, cafes and shopping centres. Only thing, attention to detail when cleaning rooms and restocking supplies such as toilet paper, water, tea bags and cups as we had to ask for them but should be expected for a 4 star hotel. Other than that, it was amazing.

Large room with all essential amenities. Everything in-room worked properly, from cold/hot water, climate control, toilet/bidet. Walk-in closet also really convenient. Buffet breakfast was incredible with variety of fresh food & drink options. Location was convenient being across the street from the main train terminal.

Fantastic hotel, clean, classy yet right across from train station; lots of places to eat around the hotel. Room was spacious for 3 of us, bathroom was nice, the shower has half door so it can get messy unless you stand right under it. Perhaps a shower curtain or a door on it will be great. Overall we loved our stay at this hotel.

Needs improvement but its ok

Reception is very chaotic both for the check in and check out… no proper queues or system. Arriving and seeing/experiencing that is very off putting and stressful. Also the breakfast quality is extremely poor. But hotel is clean and comfortable and easy to get to the station
